Cool will do! I will be looking throughout Volume VII for the xyz/abc, but I will check out Volume I after I'm done with VII. I have a feeling Vol I will be fine though.
UPDATE: Did the Kaleido Blood edits but I'm unsure on what you want regarding the Florestan the king/Avrora Florestina. If you want it done the same way then let me know and I'll get on it ASAP. [[User:BionicMeerkat|BionicMeerkat]] ([[User talk:BionicMeerkat|talk]]) 10:17, 10 January 2014 (CST)

I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to edit without your permission. Its just the sentence felt really awkward to read and sound so unnatural. Please feel free to rollback my edit if you have any issues with it. And I'll contact you as you have suggested. [[User:Code 06|Code 06]] ([[User talk:Code 06|talk]]) 13:13, 29 January 2014 (CST)

Thanks for you translations!

== OreShura ==
I'll try to finish it if I could have the time. I will contact cloudii later and tell you his answer
and could you give me a link of the forum of oreshura . ----[[User:Levant08|Levant08]]

Feel free to update it whenever you want. Which chapters are you working on currently? I work pretty slowly so if work resumes in December, I will probably only submit it in mid December. --[[User:Timo|Timo]] ([[User Talk:Timo|Talk]])

Well I will focus on 6.5 first. Cloudii probably have the first chapter. Thanks for translating :D --[[User:Timo|Timo]] ([[User Talk:Timo|Talk]])

I'm actually busy with school, trying to juggle a couple of advanced classes here. Most of my day is pretty much just hw, if I have time I'll let you know. If you give me like maybe 3 days per chapter worth of editing then yeah I can do that. If not, you can ask AJS90; he's been doing a couple of revisions while I was away. Thanksgiving is coming up (and so is Thanksgiving break) so you can throw some translations my way in 2 weeks --[[User:OhHaiThar|OhHaiThar]] ([[User Talk:OhHaiThar|Talk]])

I'll work on volume 7 for a while after I have the approval of cloudii. I don't know how to edit actually so I'll post it raw with a TLC/proofread thing. I'll post it after you finish 6.5 cause I'm also
busy with school and stuff. Its hard to create an account in the forums its a bit frustrating. --[[User:Levant08|Levant08]] ([[User:Levant08|Talk]])

Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume3 Chapter2

2014-06-14T07:17:51Z

Levant08: /* Chapter 2: Team Scarlet's Dash */

==Chapter 2: Team Scarlet's Dash==

===Part 1===

"Kamito, they're coming. Let's break through the middle in one go!"

"Ah, I got it!"

Simultaneously with the match-commencement bell—

Kamito and Claire began running through the forest of Astral Zero.

It was a simulation practice targeting the Blade Dance, and their third battle after Fianna had joined.

They were taking a battle formation where the vanguard were Kamito and Claire, and the rear guard and commander was Fianna.

This time there was no need to incapacitate all five members of the opposing team, they had to defeat one person that was chosen to be the commander. It was Claire's judgment that it would make best use of the team's offensive ability if Fianna was posted as the rear guard and defending as the commander, instead of Claire, who would be fighting as a vanguard.

"Haa, haa... Hey, wait a bit, you two!"

Fianna ran as she gasped. For her, who had not received battle training, running also seemed tough.

"The rate of your breathing is increasing, princess."

"I can't help it, after all, my breasts aren't light like Claire's—"

"Wh-What was that...!"

Seeing Fianna's breasts shake whenever she ran, Claire tightly bit her lips.


"Hey, don't quarrel. —They're coming!"

Upon coming out from the deep forest and into an open area— Kamito shouted.

There were shadows of three elementalists in the front. It seemed like they were going to clash head on.

Claire returned to her serious face, kicked the ground, and further accelerated.

Their opponent, «Team Aquans», was ranked seventh in the interschool ranking.

It was a team that mainly constituted of powerful people gathered from the upperclassmen. They couldn't let their guard down.

Looking at the approaching opponents— Claire gasped in surprise.

Out of the approaching three people, she recognized the faces of two.

"Those two, if I recall—"

Kamito also noticed it.

They were the demon mirror elementalist and the adamantine elementalist.

A few weeks ago, they were the same upperclassmen, who had participated in the contract ritual of the militarized spirit in Academy Town.

They were the ones, who had relentlessly tormented Claire, who could not use her contracted spirit.

After that, they had the tables turned on them by Scarlet, who was possessed by the frenzy spirit, but—

Before he knew, they seemed to have joined a champion team.

"...Three from the front, huh? The remaining two should be hiding in the forest."

"I'll gather and take them on. You get the ones in the forest."

"Will you be alright?"


"Don't look down on me."

Kamito returned a wry smile to Claire, who expressed a composed smile.

"I'm going to settle it in 30 seconds."

"I'm counting on you— Scarlet!"

At the same time as Claire shouted, the incandescence hellcat running beside her changed its appearance into Flame Tongue.

It was—the incarnation of a contracted spirit that transformed into an armament—an elemental waffe. There was no one, who could release this as an elementary student.

Claire swung the Flame Tongue to the side.

The red hot whip was running as it licked the ground, and a blazing wall of flames appeared.

As the three attackers from the opposite team flinched, Kamito took the chance to quickly dash into the forest.

He cut down many trees with his shiny-silver elemental waffe sword as he ran through.

His field of vision was bad due to the drifting mist. He sharpened his whole body's senses, and sensed the presence of divine power, which was the source of the power of an elementalist— a battle ability driven into him when he was young at the «Instructional School».

(—One is coming this way.)

He felt the presence behind him. One of the three seemed to be chasing after Kamito.

He tried to stop and turn around, and at that moment.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Vun*— A sound like the flapping of a bug's wings skimmed past his earlobes.

The attack he had just barely dodged pulverized the tree behind him.

(What? I didn't see the trajectory of that attack—)


He turned towards the direction of the sound— There was the figure of the furious attacker.

It was a small built girl with chestnut-color hair. She was holding a small harp in her hand.

It was a musical-instrument-type elemental waffe.

The girl strummed the harp— and a slash attack was released again.

The invisible sound blade cut Kamito's leg and the many tree leaves fluttered and scattered in a flash.

It was a rather troublesome elemental waffe. It differed from a normal shooting attack, since he could not observe the shooter's hand movement and gaze to predict the trajectory.

(—In that case, I'll close in and bring her down in one attack!)

He ignored the elementalist chasing him behind. Holding the sword horizontally, Kamito rushed straight in.

The chestnut-colored hair girl violently strummed her harp. Perhaps she was flustered by Kamito's approaching speed, the invisible blades were released towards an almost random direction.

(No, this is—)

Kamito noticed his opponent's aim.

In the following moment, the sound blades that should have been out of range simultaneously rained incessantly on him from behind.

"...!"

The academy's uniform that had stab-proof features was cut and ripped, and intense pain attacked Kamito's whole body.

Even if he received an attack from a spirit in Astral Zero, his physical flesh would never receive damage, but that didn't mean that the sensation of pain completely vanished.


"You've let your guard down, male elementalist!"

There was a scorning-like voice from behind. It was the elementalist that came chasing after Kamito.

Upon turning around, there was the upperclassman smirking with a sphere-shaped spirit floating on her palm.

"I see, you amplified the sound blades and reflected them, huh? ..."

The reflection of attribute attacks was the demon mirror spirit's special trait.

It was a combination attack utilizing their spirits' compatibility—as expected, they were accustomed to battle.

"Vit, that guy's elemental waffe is a sword. It's no big deal as long as we keep our distance."

The harp girl silently nodded. They seemed to be planning to pincer attack him and bring him down for sure.

(...They have analyzed my battle strengths, huh?)

Terminus Est was an elemental waffe of the strongest class, but since she was a sword, she could only do close-range attacks.

Also, Kamito couldn't use powerful spirit magic like Claire.

The handling of spirit magic was something necessary for the systematic research relating to the spirit subject, but Kamito was of «Instructional School» origin and thus he didn't receive practically any training in that area.

However, if they were under the impression that Kamito's long distance attack measures were nonexistent, they were mistaken.

"Est!"

As she heard Kamito's shouting voice, the elemental waffe metamorphosed.

From a single-edged long sword, into a beautiful short sword attached with an ornament.

At that moment, there were the countless sound blades, released from both sides.


The moment he dodged them, Kamito threw the short sword.

Perhaps because she didn't think he would throw his elemental waffe, the sound elementalist had a surprised facial expression.

The short sword hit and was sucked into her chest.

In Astral Zero, a contracted spirit could be used as the incarnation of pure divine power.

There were no injuries on her pierced chest, yet she lost consciousness in an instant and shouldn't even have the time to feel the pain.

At the same time, Kamito was running.

He extracted the short sword from the fainted girl, and at the same time he turned around, he repelled the sound blades that came attacking from behind. He poured divine power into the short sword, and restored Est to the previous long sword— Realizing the failure of that attack, the demon mirror elementalist tried to plot her escape, but that was too late of a reaction.

"Sorry, the short sword is more of my specialty."

The glowing silver sword pierced through the demon mirror spirit all together with the upperclassman.

Upon confirming that the two had fainted, and quickly returning to the location where Claire was fighting—

"You're late, seven seconds late."

"You were counting? You're such a stingy fellow."

Within the whirling crimson flames, Claire was dancing a splendid blade dance.

There were the remains of the melted crag spirit rolling on the ground— She seemed to have already defeated one person.

The one remaining was the adamantine elementalist. As she parried the spirit, which had taken on its gigantic ore form, away with her whip, Claire was making walls of flame to seal her opponent's movement. The blazing flames totally did not weaken. On the contrary, fanned by the thunderous violent-blowing wind, they seemed to be increasingly growing hotter.

It was the assistive effect of the ritual dance performance that Fianna danced. The power of the wind Elemental Lord was fiercely stirring up the flames.

However, the opponent was an adamantine spirit, which possessed resistance against the fire attribute. It was acting as if the walls of flame were nothing.

"Your flame spirit won't work on my «Adamantine»!"

The adamantine spirit came assaulting straight on. Claire kicked the ground and jumped.

That appearance of her red twin tails flying and fluttering seemed almost as if they were scattering sparks.

The crimson killing flash freely tore through the sky. The surrounding trees were cut from their roots.

No. The ones cut weren't just the trees of the forest.

Perhaps it was unable to withstand the accumulation of damage any longer; he thought that he heard a metal-scraping-like sound as the adamantine spirit in its ore form was cleanly split into four and fell to the ground.

"No way, my adamantine spirit!?"

"Certainly, the adamantine spirit has a resistance against the fire attribute. However, it seemed to be brittle against a cutting attack."

Claire landed on the ground, and brushed her red twintails.

Jumping and scattering sparks landed into a puddle and made a sizzling sound.

"...'''A puddle?'''"

Kamito, who had been fascinated by Claire's blade dance, suddenly frowned.

It was just behind Fianna, who was performing the ritual dance.

(Just now, there wasn't a puddle at such a—)


At that moment.

"—Kyaa!?"

Fianna screamed.

Suddenly, her body was caught by a giant shadow that appeared from the inside of the puddle.

It had a big slimy transparent frame and ominously shiny red eyes.

And then, it had a large spread out chin.

That was a water spirit in a giant serpent form.

"Fianna!"

"Ah, hn... What are you doing?!"

Its wet shiny semi-transparent body turned over Fianna's skirt, and was tightly twining around her slender body. Her tender breasts were squeezed out and a gasping-like breath leaked out from her throat.

Fianna was suspended in midair as she writhed, but she was helpless against the spirit opponent.

"No, no, don't touch anywhere, eh... n-noooooo!"

"Why you, release Fianna!"

Aiming at the slimy coiling serpent's body, Claire launched her Flame Tongue.

However, the Flame Tongue made a sizzling noise and slipped though the semi-transparent body.

It was a water spirit, which had the worst compatibility with Scarlet, which was a flame spirit. Even within the five grand elemental spirits, it was the spirit that Claire wanted to not deal with the most. Furthermore, a spirit that took on a beast form was a high ranking spirit. That was probably the commander's contracted spirit— but there were no signs of the elementalist using it around.

"Damn—"

Kamito was about to run to her side, and at that moment.

The water spirit raised its head, aimed at Claire and released a strong Aqua Breath.

Claire knocked down the water bullets with her Flame Tongue, but she simply couldn't defend against all of them—

"Claire!"

Kamito quickly changed his direction, grabbed Claire's body, and jumped.

Immediately after that, countless water bullets had made their impact. Large explosions, as if turning the ground inside out, occurred in succession.

"..., An attack-type water spirit? What power."

"Fuaa, Ka-Kamito, what are you doing?!"

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Don*, they landed on the ground, and Claire turned bright red and shouted.

It seems that being carried in his arms made her embarrassed.

"I-I got it! I got it, so don't scratch my face!"

The moment Claire was softly let off onto the ground, the water spirit turned around.

Raising its head, it tried to release its strong Aqua Breath again.

At that moment, a dazzling flash surged out from the serpent's body.

——Thou, servant of the king of the child of man, knight and master swordsman!

——By the contract of the old blood, become the sword that protects me, please hurry and come to my side!


In the instant when the tightening jolted, Fianna took the chance to recite the spirit summoning incantation.

Immediately, the gigantic water spirit's body swelled up and exploded in one go from the inside.

The one appearing from within the flash was—

An armored knight, carrying Fianna in one hand.

It had a rigid silver heavy-armor. Its red eyes were glaringly shining in its helmet.

It was the knight spirit «Georgios»— The contracted spirit that served the Ordesia royal family for generations.

It was power that Fianna, who was once called the Lost Queen, had regained.

Fianna was gently let down and collapsed on the ground since she had exhausted all her strength.

"Checkmate"

Kamito calmly informed, and pointed the tip of the sword at the middle of the puddle.

"...It seems this is it."

The commander water elementalist, who was hiding, admitted defeat, seemingly vexed.

===Part 2===

Kamito and the others, who returned from the forest of Astral Zero, were walking in a line in the academy's corridor.

Fianna, who had been caught and twined up by the water spirit, had a dead-tired expression.

Est, who turned back into her human form, was slightly pinching on the cuffs of Kamito's uniform.


"This makes it our third consecutive victory in our battles, this is all thanks to my wonderful commands."

Brushing her red twin-tails, Claire muttered in a good mood.

"I won't deny it, but... today's match was a little too much of a close call."

Kamito shrugged his shoulders and pointed out.

Although, winning against the seventh ranking team was great. With this, they should have come within reach of the top three, who were able to get the participating qualification of the Blade Dance.

"That's right, we can't feel relieved yet. As far as the top ranking team we have not yet fought with is concerned, the possibility that we'll get Ellis' third ranking team next is high."

"Ellis?... I'll want to seriously cross swords with her once."

Ellis' blade dance was, completely without things like tricks, a fair and square knight's blade dance.

If it was her, he was sure that he could surely fight feeling good.

Claire somehow pouted her lips, seemingly displeased, at Kamito muttering such things.

"Wh-What, you want to see Ellis' breasts shaking so much?"

"What... Well, certainly, Ellis' breasts are big, but— Ah, no."

As Claire was sternly glaring, Kamito averted the topic in a fluster.

"Although, if I recall Ellis' team had two comrades who're still injuried, right?"

They were the Sylphid Knights' Rakka and Reishia. They, who were also Ellis' teammate, fought Jio Inzagi in the quest the other day and were injured.


It was certain to take fair amount of time for the two of them to return to the academy.

"Yeah, in the case that Ellis defaults— we may have to fight against the second ranking team, or the first ranking's Velsaria. Honestly, it's not very appealing."

"Velsaria?"

"A knight of the Fahrengart duke family. Taking on the nickname of Silent Fortress, she's the academy's strongest elementalist."

The instant Claire spoke of that nickname, her voice slightly trembled.

"The academy's strongest..."

She was first in the inter-school rankings. She was the academy's strongest elementalist that even Claire feared.

What kind of opponent was she?—

(Hn? However, the Fahrengart duke family was certainly...)

Suddenly, Kamito seemed to have recalled something, but—

"Well, in any case—"

To shake off the heavy atmosphere, Claire tightly thrust out her index finger.

"Let's have lunch or something. A victory celebration party to celebrate our consecutive victories."

"It's still before noon. You'll grow fat if you overeat."

"An elementalist, who exhausted her divine power in battle, would not grow fat."

Placing her hands at her waist, Claire swelled out her cheeks sullenly.

"So, the nutrition that should go to your breasts were all taken by your contracted spirit. How pitiful."


"Eh?"

Hearing Fianna's murmuring—

Claire was taken aback, and looked down at the hellcat spirit near her feet.

"...Hey, Scarlet."

"Nya?"

"By any chance, are you burning my breasts' fat?"

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gogogogogogogo...!*

"Nya,nya,nyaa, nyaaa!"

"Ah, hey, wait up!"

Scarlet shook its head, and escaped at full speed through the corridor.

(...Umm, I somewhat feel a sense of affinity to Scarlet.)

Kamito was thinking of such things, when—

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kuikui*. The sleeve of his uniform was pulled from behind.

Turning around, Est was gazing at Kamito with her clear violet pupils.

"Kamito, Est is hungry."

"Ahh, Est, as you have really done your best, you can eat the things you like."

"Okay, Kamito. Please praise Est more."

"...It can't be helped."


<nowiki>*</nowiki>Surisuri*. *Nadenade*.

He made a wry smile as he gave her head a pat, and Est partly closed her eyes, seemingly feeling good.

"... Y-You, why are you soft on Est?"

"What, Claire, do you also want to be patted?"

"Wh... There's no... Fuan"

Kamito placed his other hand on Claire's head, and she made a somewhat cute voice.

Upon patting her head, she became docile almost like a cat, which was fondled at its throat.

(Th-This is a little cute...)

Kamito was also unconsciously startled at the hellcat girl's unexpected weak point.

"Mmm, Kamito-kun, are you not going to pat me?"

Holding her index finger at her mouth, Fianna muttered seemingly lonely.

Then.

"—Hmm, you seem to be having fun. Sister of the Calamity Queen."

A cold voice was heard from behind.

"...?"

Upon turning around—

"Even though, the truth is you don't have things like the qualifications to be in this academy."


"Do you get what your sister did to the empire?"

It was the upperclassman from the match a while ago— those two, the adamantine elementalist and the demon mirror elementalist.

"What did you—"

Kamito grabbed and stopped Claire's arm, who was enraged.

"Claire, calm down. Don't easily fall for their provocations."

"..., But Nee-sama was insulted.!"

"If you cause a dueling uproar here, our participation in the Blade Dance will also be in jeopardy."

Kamito whispered, and Claire thoroughly bit her lips, seemingly frustrated.

If they receive a punishment for a dueling uproar, the ranking that they raised with great trouble would end up being drastically reduced.

The two of them in front of him also knew that and were provoking Claire on purpose.

(Those two...)

Although, even Kamito also couldn't stay composed.

It was for only an instant, but Kamito didn't miss Claire's hurt expression. The matter about her sister, Rubia Elstien, had been a great emotional scar to her.

"This is really sickening. For the sister of a felon, who did that much, to be boldly attending the academy, what on earth are your nerves made of—"

"Hey, you better—"

Kamito tried to complain, and at that moment.


<nowiki>*</nowiki>Katsun*— Elegant footsteps were heard in the corridor.

"Hmm, how disgraceful, seniors. We, the academy students, are empire nobles with pride. If you have a pretext, it is manners to settle it with an official duel."

Her extravagant platinum-blonde hair fluttered up.

She had the conduct of a noble that was perfectly in order up to her fingertips.

"...Rinslet?"

Yes—

The one, who was slowly walking from the other side of the corridor, was a blond haired beautiful girl overflowing with elegance.

She was the eldest daughter with the lineage of the honorable Laurenfrost family, and also the self-declared rival of Claire.

She was Miss Rinslet Laurenfrost.

Her emerald green pupils, which hid faint brilliance, were fearlessly glaring at the two upperclassman.

"Or perhaps, rural nobles, like you seniors, do not even happen to have that extent of pride?"

"..., What was that!?"

Being provoked, one of the enraged upperclassmen summoned her adamantine spirit.

(Danger—)

Kamito rushed out in front to try to protect Rinslet, but—

"—You're slow."

"Wh!?"


The upperclassman distorted her face in shock.

Rinslet's nocked demon bow of ice was certainly aimed at the place between her eyebrows.

It was the high ranking demon ice spirit «Fenrir's» elemental waffe— Freezing Arrow.

"The one, who moved first, was you seniors. Therefore, this is a proper self-defense. Although, it seemed that I, who moved later, was somehow faster."

"..., Ridiculous, you released your elemental waffe in an instant!?"

The upperclassman stiffened as the aim was kept affixed between her eyebrows.

Honestly, the releasing speed just now astonished even Kamito.

"It is wiser for you to give up. It is faster for me to release my arrow— Or perhaps, you planned on competing with this ice demon Rinslet here?"

"...Y-You'll remember this."

Seemingly frustrated, the two upperclassmen said disdainfully and glared at Claire before running in the end.

"Hmm, a wise judgment."

Rinslet proudly brushed her hair, and kept her elemental waffe bow.

"Rinslet, you..."

"Oh, this is not something you have to feel indebted for, Claire Rouge. I really hate those sort of prideless nobles."

"I-It's not like I feel indebted or something!"


"Claire, don't be bothered by those kind of people."

"I-I'm not... That sort of thing is normal."

Claire rubbed her eyes, and quickly turned away.

"B-By the way, everyone—"

"Ahem", Rinslet coughed.

"Um?"

"E-Err... Just now, I heard something about a victory celebration party."

Her face was slightly red. Her appearance, where she was frigid, suddenly changed, and she entwined her fingers bashfully, as her line of sight was wandering about in a really un-composed manner.

"What, you were listening to our conversation?"

"I-It was by chance, it was just that it entered my ears by chance!"

Rinslet shook her head and denied.

"Although you're having a victory celebration party, since it's you guys, you would be having it in the academy's dining hall, right?"

"...Hn, yeah."

Kamito articulated poorly and nodded.

Kamito wasn't even a noble, and Claire also had her territory and property seized. Fianna was the former princess, but at the point of time she decided to admit into the academy, she was practically disinherited.

It didn't mean that they were short on money, but they didn't have the surplus to squander it.


"How about having lunch at a high-class restaurant in Academy Town once in a while?"

"Err, we don't have..."

Kamito staggered in his words—

"Hmm, to settle that, I will be treating. This is a small expense for my Laurenfrost family. Claire Rouge, your Highness, and the spirit over there, there is no need to hold back."

The ojou-sama brushed her platinum-blonde hair.

"No." "I decline."

However, Claire and Fianna mercilessly rejected her.

"Wh-Why?!"

"Because I don't want to be indebted to you."

"Speaking of which, why is Rinslet coming to Team Scarlet's victory celebration party?"

"Th-That's... err... u..."

Rinslet became teary at the merciless retorts by the two ojou-sama.

There was no longer any fragment of her braveness from just now.

At that point.

"In other words, Milady wants to have a meal with everyone ♪ "

Maid Carol suddenly appeared from somewhere.


"Carol!? Wh-What are you saying? This girl is just...!"

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pokapokapokapoka*.

Turning bright red, Rinslet hits Carol's shoulder.

It was a splendid interpretation as usual.

"...What, if that was the case, all you had to do was say so at the beginning."

Claire shrugged her shoulders as she was astounded.

"Eh? I-It's alright... for me to also come together?"

"I don't do such spiteful things. It's just the right time, because Kamito was hospitalized due to his injuries, we didn't celebrate the completion of the quest the other day. You come too."

Rinslet's face shone in a flash.

"Kamito, I want to eat parfait."

"Ahh, now that you mentioned it, I promised you that a while ago."

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Tug-tug*. His sleeves were pulled by Est, and Kamito nodded.

"Well, putting aside the high class restaurant, it might also be nice to eat in Academy Town."

They always settled lunch at the salon café with all-you-can-eat bread, as it was troublesome to specially get permission to go out, there was hardly any time they went outside the academy.

To try to go out to Academy Town once in a while was because it might be a good change of mood.

"Well then, it's decided. I'll go get the permission to go out of the academy right now."


"Ah, wait."

Kamito called Claire, who walked off, to stop.

"What?"

"I have a supplementary class for the fundamental subject after this."

"...Huh? Don't tell me you failed the fundamental subject?"

"...Sorry."

Kamito nodded, being discouraged.

"I can't believe it. Why did you fail such an easy lecture?"

"Gu..."

...He couldn't answer back. To begin with, Kamito, who was from the «Instructional School», had not received education on the systematic spirit subjects so far, so if he couldn't help it, he couldn't help it.

On the other hand, the results of Claire's lecture subjects were unexpectedly top-class even in the Academy.

If it was just by her results, she was a super honor student. The superior problem child was something often said about her.

"...It can't be helped. Well then, we'll wait till Kamito's supplementary class ends. It'll be a slightly late lunch, but is it alright if we meet in front of the main gate at two?"

Absolute Duo:Volume 3 Prologue

2014-05-20T09:22:30Z

Levant08:

==Prologue==

“I, wonder what type of person I will fall in love with………..”

The girl-----Hotaka Miyabi was bad with the opposite sex.

It’s not like she has an inerasable trauma from her childhood…………but, it’s just that she was bad with strangers and shy. Above that, another reason for it was that she went to a girls only middle school same as like her sister.

Because of that, the existence of males in the same age as the middle-school Miyabi, only appeared in stories like drama or manga.

But even if she was bad with them, it’s not like she had no interest in love.

Because of that, she has imagined that she would fall for someone one day------like that.

Even though she was not conscious about this, her head turned completely blank when she saw the target of her affections getting kissed----even though it’s just on the cheek. To Miyabi who has slowly gotten used to having a conversation with the opposite sex, a kiss was a very high level action for her.

The moment she regained her composure, the criticism that came out from her mouth was-------a cute shout calling him pervert. Of course, it’s not like there were any bad intentions in it and those were the only words that Miyabi could have thought of in her half-panicked state.

However, she encountered a different kind of emotion in her chest when she recalled the event calmly after some time had passed and it became night time. As if being covered in a haze, those hazy emotions made her feel hard to breathe and at the same time made her feelings heavier.

Thanks to that, Miyabi felt troubled.

(What is this feeling………)

“Miyabi, I am turning off the lights.”

“Ah, un………….”

Since she was daydreaming about the emotions in her chest on the bed, it passed the time for lights out before she knew it, and Tachibana her roommate and at the same time <<Duo>> called out to her.

After Miyabi nodded, Tomoe turned off the lights and the room was covered in darkness.

She closed her eyes. But, the event that happened in the afternoon did not vanish. The image of the boy who gave her the feelings to make her work harder in Kouryou academy and who was her first male friend, getting kissed.

The haze in her chest would not clear up.

It was there, whether she slept or was stayed awake.

The girl-----Tachibana was dense.

Of course, the denseness here was related to the opposite sex-----which meant it was related to love emotions.

She could take care of everything other than love in details, and was good at taking care of others.

Although she was a little hard-headed, she was diligent, social, and was seen favorably by others.

But she was dense.

It was something created from her environment.

Being born in the martial family of the Tachibana style, Tomoe had devoted most of her childhood days training to succeed in the family’s name. Fortunately she was blessed with the talent of martial arts and the tough training certainly bore fruit even though it was little by little.

However, it became Tomoe’s misfortune. The training of the Tachibana style was to give girls the strength, strength that would make males the same age as them run away barefooted.

Strength was simply something standard to males-----especially teenagers.

But the fact of having a girl stronger than them made the teenage males around Tomoe have stubborn hearts. It was so severe that not even one person could tell their feelings to her even though they had favorable intentions towards the girl.

If any one of them was honest then, Tomoe might be able to discover love.

………………Judging from the point of telling their feelings, there were several times she got letters and chocolates from other girls and that made her confused.

Anyways-------as a result of being born in the environment she was raised in with that talent, Tomoe grew up without knowing about love. Different from Miyabi, one of the reasons was that she had no chance to touch any works that made her yearn for love.

The trigger for this was being treated as a girl by a teenage boy she met in Kouryou academy.

Even though it was not like she fell in love, it was just strong enough to show concern over the boy unconsciously.

That was still a small feeling. Her chest rustled the moment she saw him getting kissed, and she crushed the chance to notice this feeling by shouting how shameless------which was done from outside her senses.

But even so, her story did not stop and still continues on.

Gradually but certainly, she was starting to get attracted to the boy without noticing it.

After a few days passed, the boy------Kokonoe Tooru got discharged and was returned back to the girls.

When Miyabi thought about Tooru, her chest ached. It felt itchy and did not calm down.

Strangely enough, those feelings vanished off when Tooru actually stands in front of her and she gets wrapped in an uplifting fluffy and comfortable feeling instead.

It '''''was''''' the same thing when Tooru called out to her when she headed to the cafeteria alone during the evening.

---Yes, in past tense.

“Eh……Ah, you are going with Tomoe-chan tomorrow morning………..?”

What Tooru was saying was, that he would most likely not show his face in the morning runs for a while because he was going to learn martial arts from Tomoe starting from tomorrow morning.

“Sorry. We promised to have her teach me once the <<Survive>> ended.”

Even though he did not make any promise with Miyabi, Tooru felt a little apologetic to her since he ran with her almost every day.

This sudden talk gave Miyabi a shock when she was unconsciously looking forward to running together again starting from tomorrow morning.

---But, she swung her head to the side in panic when she saw Tooru’s apologetic expression.

“Th-there is no reason for Tooru-kun to apologize. See, it’s not like we promised to run together………a-and, you would show your face since it’s been a while right? Then, I will run as much as I can and become fast so I can surprise Tooru-kun, fufu.”

Miyabi tried her best to smile and Tooru felt saved when he saw that expression.

“I get it. Alright, I look forward to that day……….. the day Miyabi's lap times are shorter than mine.”

“-----E-eeeeeeeeeeeeh!? To-Tooru-kun, don’t make such an unreasonable demand<nowiki>～～～～</nowiki>”

The atmosphere flowing between them returned back to the usual lively one.

After a while from that, Miyabi would send her sights towards Tooru who was having fun talking to his friends several times during dinner and would make small sighs unconsciously each time.

(I see………..With Tomoe-chan, huh………..)

In the end, Miyabi did not have any appetite for today’s dinner and left-over her dinner.

The night cleared out and it became morning-----

Right in the promenade between the dormitory and the hall opposite, Tooru and Tomoe were facing each other.

“Well then, we will now begin the introduction of the techniques from the Tachibana style.”

“I am counting on you master Tachibana.”

“St-stop it, It’s true that I am going to be the one guiding but, I am still a novice so I can’t help, but feel itchy if I am being called that.”

Tomoe scratched her cheek while looking embarrassed and troubled, because of my joke made to the Tachibana style.

“I’ll say this before we start, the contents I am going to teach you are basics, so plain and simple training will continue. I am sorry but, please prepare yourself for that. If you want a good sword then forge it from the ore, that is the guiding thought in the Tachibana-----”

“Haha, I got told something close to that by my master before. Well, mine is a tree instead of a sword though.”

When Tooru talked about the proverb he told to Miyabi before, Tomoe made an agreeing nod.

And at the same time, she had a favorable impression to Tooru who understood the importance of the basics which are easily overlooked and forgotten even though it was a normal thing to do.

“Well then, let’s begin. First off please imitate my stances……………yes, like that. Then move your leg-----”

The guidance for the body movements started. Even though he was confused at first, Tooru immediately made an understanding nod.

“------Uuun, I am able to understand the shape but, I have to make my body get familiarized to it to use it.”

After he said that, Tomoe made a small smile while looking at Tooru who was repeating the moves he learned seriously while somewhat having fun.

(Fufu, Looks like he will progress fast by this pace.)

No matter what skills it may be, it took time for the body to really get it. However that time changes greatly by the enthusiasm of the heart of wanting to learn.

After a while, the guidance for the next technique-----the way of the eight style’s basics started.

“----------That’s about it. If you get used to it then you will be able to combine it with the first moves. I’ll show you an example. I will now get close to you and you thrust your fist out.”

Tooru brought his fist forward towards Tomoe who got close like he was told------and at that moment, Tomoe suddenly spun her body and grabbed his arms before slipping into his chest area.

“And well, this is it. I am saying that I will make a throw here. It’s probably good to add an elbow strike here depending on the situation.”

“………….This is the move I lost to during the <<Fist practice>> from a while ago. But I see now. The connection between attacking and blocking is amazing.”

“It’s Ryuusui<ref group ="3a">Flowing water</ref>. Whether it’s the movements, way of performing, or attack, all of it will flow within as one. Okay, let’s try it out. I will bring my fist forward now so, you try doing the same.”

Tooru nodded and dodged her fist similar to her and entered a throwing stance once he slipped into her chest area together with grabbing her hands but-----

He noticed.

Tomoe’s big and soft breasts touched his back.

“That’s right, that’s the feeling. Okay, let’s repeat that for 10 times. However, you can put more strength in your arm and pull harder this time.”

Tooru’s face stiffened.

The breast behind him would touch harder the stronger he pulled and would make him more conscious about it.

(Hu-hurry up and endddddddddd!!)

Tooru’s heart got chaotic from the feeling touching his back.

Tomoe thought this when she saw Tooru like that.

(Umu, it’s a good face. The spirit of wanting to acquire this move as fast as possible is being told.)

“…………Okay, since we’ve gone this way, let’s add in 10 more times!”

Tooru shouted in his heart at Tomoe’s suggestion.

Like that------Tachibana Tomoe deepened her relationship with Tooru through the guidance of martial arts.

There was someone looking at both of them from the tree's shadows.

It was Miyabi.

She would normally be running outside the school in this time slot by now but, she got curious about Tooru and Tomoe today and took up an unfunny action of peeking like this.

(What am I doing…………)

Miyabi made a sigh when she looked at the objectives of her actions.

Even though she was thinking why her eyes wouldn’t leave them for some odd reason, she continued looking at the both of them without getting any answers and-----

“-----!!”

Suddenly, Tomoe hugged Tooru from the back.

---Of course, it was just a lecture of the combination of the move and the way of performing it and is completely unrelated to the male and female relationship but, Miyabi misunderstood that and took a big breath.

It was only when she saw Tooru and Tomoe’s position switched and performing the same------the action of repeatedly bringing their body closer and letting go, that she let go of the breath she sucked in.

(O-oh I see………That was training…………)

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Dokun**dokun* her heartbeat coming from her chest got faster at this surprise.

She took a deep breath to calm it down as much as possible and slowly exhaled. She then repeated this.

Her heartbeat started to calm down and-----

“Haa……….”

Miyabi’s feelings sank together with that, and leaked a big sigh------she then mumbled this.

“How nice…………”

Those were her true thoughts she said unconsciously.

It was something pointed to the scenery of Tomoe------and Tooru bringing their body closer.

(Eh………?)

After she mumbled that, Miyabi felt surprise at her own words.

(Why did I think 'how nice' just now……….?)

Miyabi got bewildered at her true thoughts that came out unconsciously.

It was impossible for her senses until now to think that hugging a male was enviable.

Rather, it was something that was enough to make her get embarrassed and look away when she saw males and females-----couples bringing their bodies closer in the city.

But even so, Miyabi continuing to think why and------the answer came out.

The answer was shown from the words she said unconsciously.

Yes, Miyabi was envious of Tomoe. She understood herself for feeling envious of bringing her body close to none other than Tooru.

And to find what kind of emotion it was, Miyabi applied the knowledge she had in herself before----

(Ah-re…………? That means……….I, might have……..)

She got perplexed when she reached the answer.

However, the answer was shown to be correct by the throbbing heart she got just by hearing Tooru’s voice.

She wanted to hear his voice more.

She wanted to see his face more.

The embarrassment was enough to make her die but, she wanted to run to him and hug him.

No matter if Tooru was the first male friend she had got close with, there was no way she would hold that kind of emotion towards a friend.

Miyabi mumbled this.

“So, I love-----Tooru-kun, huh…………..”

Like this-----Hotaka Miyabi became aware of her first love.

==#1: Masuzu's Letter==

Let me read JoJo.

Please let me read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

JoJo!

JoJo! JoJo!

JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo!

JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo!

Please let me read JoJo.

Please let me read Japan's manga.

I thirst for Japanese Culture.

I thirst for Japanese language.

JoJoooooooooooooooooooooo!

<center>◊</center>

Neh, Eita.

Come to think of it, it’s the first time I wrote a letter to you.

Even though I have sent you a thousand and seventy eight electronic messages, how strange.

I haven't sent a letter ever since I was a kid.

My father was strict, so he didn’t let me own a phone.

Back then, the only way I was connected to Japan was by letters.

Right now, I’m not in Japan.

I’m at Sweden, where my father’s work headquarters are.

Because my phone was confiscated, the only method of communication left is by letter.

That's right, just like how it was back then when I was a kid.

That's why I wrote this letter to you.

Well, what should I tell you now about...

They are a lot of things I left untold, and things I never meant to tell you.

I guess I’ll start from how I grew up.

It would also be proper to say that is a talk about 「how I came to love Jojo that much」.

My mother was born in a Northern Europe country <ref>How she phrased it, it can be Scandinavia or any norther Europe country</ref>, it was said that she fell in love at first sight with father, a Japanese entrepreneur; she then ignored the oppositions of her family and came to Japan.

I actually have almost no knowledge about the country mother grew up in.

Because mother has never once told me about her homeland.

Surely, it's definitely because she doesn’t want to remember.

In Hanenoyama City; anyone who knows about families with goods assets know of the Natsukawa Family, this is the family I grew up with.

Even though my memory is vague, what I can tell confidently is that I was happy. Not minding having a wealthy family, the most important part was that I was always together with mother.<ref>she calls her Oka-san if you are wondering</ref>

However, back then I had almost no chance to interact with my father.<ref>she calls him 父 , chichi or oto are my guesses (no honorific)</ref>

From time to time, I could see him from afar when he spoke to mother or the servants.

My father dislikes children.

Apparently he even gave order to keep me away from him.

Back then, I thought 「it's supposed to be like this」, so when I got to see a real family in kindergarten, it was a real shock.

That kid is going home with his father!

He gets to play with him!

His father even piggy backed him!

That said, I never found myself unhappy.

Ahh, I’m different from 「Normal」--- I came to that conclusion.

When I was studying in kindergarten, my mother brought me along as we left the Natsukawa household.

The reason was because my father had an affair with another woman from another country.

Even though my life changed from living in a spacious mansion to a small apartment, I still did felt myself as blessed. As long as I was still together with mother, it'll be fine no matter where it is.

My mother, she really loves manga.

Specially the the kind aimed to young boys, Shounen manga.

In Japan, this is called「JUMP」-- she even proudly told me. <ref>Jump is a publishing label for shounen manga, I doubt that you don't know about it</ref>

As if she was reading a picture book, she would read it together with me.

My favourite one was————

Eita. Since it's you, you should known by now, right?

It’s JoJo.

Even though back then I couldn’t read most of the Kanji, I could understand after looking at the pictures.

It's impact is unlike any other.

Especially when my mother reads JoJo, it’s the best.

She would even read the sound effects for me.

ズキュウウウウン!Zukyuuuun

メメタァ!Memetaa

ゴゴゴゴゴ!GOGOGOGO

メギャン!Megyan
<ref>Those are all sound effects so they don't have a proper translation. Do a image search for each if you are interesting, they will lead you to many iconic scenes</ref>

I was very happy to be able to live with my mother every day.

But my mother would always cry when I am not around.

Even though she always smiled in front of me, come to think of it--- I’m not sure how often this happened.

If I could have realized it more back then.

If I could have treated her more kindly back then.

If I would had, we might have not been separated like that.

When I was seven, my father suddenly visited our apartment.

I could remember my mother’s reaction freshly even now.

When my father gave his name via the apartment’s inter phone, she jumped in joy.

She grabbed my hand and danced like a little girl.

She still loves him, that father.

Because my mother was happy back then, I was happy too. Thinking back now gives me a mixed feeling.

Because, the person my father came to see was not mother, it was me.

My father proposed to bring me away with him.

His work headquarters would be moved to Sweden, and he needs to socialize more often. To grant his objective,
I can be of help--- I guess this is what he meant. I couldn’t understand back then why having me there would be good.

For the time being, I would go with him, he would bring my mother when we have settled.

We can gather again as a family overseas.

-- Something like that, is what I remember father saying back then.

I absolutely don’t want to go.

Because, isn't this some「old guy that I don't know」?<ref>calls him shiranai ojii-san here</ref>

In school 「it doesn't matter how he asks, don't go」was what he was taught when confronted in a situation like this, why should I follow him overseas.

However, mother answered in my stead.

「Masuzu, you would be more happy if you were raised as a child of the Natsukawa family」.

「Mother will go there so, be sure to way for me there」.

I believed in those words, and followed my father to Sweden.

The environment there is like the Natsukawa’s Home, it was as big as a castle. They were also a lot of servants.

Firstly, I studied English and Swedish.

Next, I learned table manners. I was taught so thoroughly so that I would never forget the right way to use chopsticks.

Piano, violin and ballet; until I was accomplished on them.

Since I never went to school there, I don’t really remember how Sweden people looks like.

My three family tutors were always next to me, I hardly ever got the chance to leave my home.

In a life like this, I would always write letters to my mother.

She would also reply right away.

If her reply was delivered in a big envelope, it means that there would be a JoJo volume in it.

If my father finds out, he might make me get rid of it, so I'll hid them under the bed.

When everyone is asleep, I would read JoJo with a small lantern. Back then, this was my only interest. Eita, if it was you, I’m you sure can understand how I looked forward to that?

However, mother is yet to come here.

Even though I ask her about it in my letters, she wouldn’t mention it in her reply.

Even if I asked my father, he would try to change and avoid the topic.

After several futile attempts of bringing this up in the letters, I gave up.

About a year later, I was forced to act in my father’s play.

It took part in a family party that the high classed people participated in.

Even though the event wasn’t as big as one of those high class party held in Paris, this should be an important place for my father to expand his social relationships.

There, I was arranged to meet someone unexpected.

Which is my father’s second wife.

Also, her daughter. A younger sister born from another mother.

Yes, the one you already know. That blonde twin-tailed kid.

That Mana.

「Onei-chan! Nise to meet you! My name ish Mana!」

She greeted me with a half baked Japanese, I almost had a headache.

Her mother never meet my eyes.

So I did the same.

My father gave us his orders.

「I don’t care what you guys think deep inside, I only hope that you all can act as a happy family with me here.」

That speech, made me realize.

He never had the intention of bring my mother over.

I had to question him about something.

「If you want to act as an family, It should be enough with those two people!」

「Why should I participate in your act?」

My father replied with a kind face.

「Because Masuzu, you are as pretty as a diamond.」

「It's a lie! For that kind of reason!」

「There is no lie here. I brought over my beautiful「Ex-wife’s child」and raised her properly, and also made her form a good relationship with my second wife. A man like that would be praised in trusted in the society. Don’t you think so?」

How was that, Eita?

You can’t believe it, right?

Someone who can put up together and artifice like this, he can only be a true villain.

To gain a good reputation, he formed a false familyFake. This is that man.

-- But I refuse.<ref>she uses a legendary Jojo line that evolved into a meme here, it's だが断る</ref>

During the party, I silently stood without uttering a word behind back to back with my father's as I learned from Jojo.<ref>It's a pun here, "Stands" are called as such because they (normally) "stand" behind their user. Normally stands have no personality and can't interact with others; they can't been seen by people without stands and users can't even seen them unless they realize they have it, so she is acting as a stand</ref>

What awaited me after that, was a house arrest of one month.

I was locked in the second floor of the house, and was not allowed to even get close to the stairs.

Which means, I can’t deliver any letters to my mother like this.

When I was locked in my room, Mana came.

She came with sparkling eyes.

That kid, she is related to that villain, I got angry.

「Onei-chan, are you fuaine?」

「You don’t need to force yourself to speak Japanese. I can at least understand English.」

「But , I, have, a Japanse shister. So I letsh speak on Jahpanese!」

「-- is that so. Then I shall teach you some wonderful Japanese.」

「Really? Mana whill remember it! What is it!」

<big>「Carve it into your flesh and bones!! 仙道波蹴ッ!Sendou Wave Kick!」</big><ref>This is a move from Will Anthonio Zeppeli, he was also teaching it at the time (but not to the receiver). The move is actually a jumping knee, like what Masuzu is doing</ref>

「Gywan-! Onei-chan kicked me!」

Come to think of it, that is when we started to be in bad terms.

Mana’s mother came in a while later.

She had the same blonde hair and blue eyes.

As pretty as a Hollywood star, but the inside it isn't anything like that, she is that type of woman.

「So that you know, I don’t love Ryuuji」.

「What I love is the money of Ryuuji's household. And he knows about it as well」.

Just why did you just pop up to say something like that?, I even tightened by brows.

「It would be good if you too, can also do the same.」

「You have things you desire right? You can use Ryuuji too.」

「―――――――――――」

That train of thought really made a deep impression on me. I was shocked.

[[File:Oreshura_v07_017.jpg|thumb]]

I, decided to negotiate with my father.

「If I act my role as a jewel perfectly, would you let me go back to my mother?」

He accepted my conditions right away.

From that point onward, I became the 「Eldest daughter of the Natsukawa Family」and acted elegantly.

It didn't matter who it was, I showed the perfect behavior, as I acted accordingly to the standard of a good child. As not to expose my cunning nature, I acted childishly from time to time too.

Mana’s mother also acted as a fine wife and mother in front of everyone.

Mana still acted however she liked, but then I can take care of her and improve my image as a good sister. In the eyes of the world it was a beautiful relationship

But in reality, we are just counterfeits.

Things went according to my father’s plan, the society viewed the Natsukawa family in high regard.

We dealt with more and more people with authority, everyone gathered at our home. This is how my father built his connections in Sweden.

How was that? Eita.

Did my image to you change a little?

My 「fake」visage is certainly perfect, in the overseas.

I am actually the biggest reason for some business, the source of the wealth of my family.

But somehow, I couldn't pull it off when it came to fool you.

I wonder what I did wrong……

About two years later, something shocking happened.

The letters and JoJo volumes from my mother have stopped.

Even though I have received them frequently and without fault since we separated.

My mother wouldn't forget something as important as this.

「Father, did you hide mother’s letter?」

「Impossible, I won’t do such a thing.」

「You’re lying! You definitely hid them!」

「Don’t trouble me, my jewel. What good would that bring me?」

I can’t read what happens on JoJo anymore.

The previous volume was at the part where Polnareff became a turtle!

What will happen to my Polnareff-kun!?<ref>If you are wondering, this is a spoiler for part 5. Actually, the fact that Polnareff is in is already a spoiler for the late game of part 5</ref>

I decided to escape from this place.

By avoiding my father eyes and gaining help from the servants, I got myself a ticket to Japan.

After being separated for three years, the time to reunion with my mother is finally here.

I used the key card that I have been preciously keeping, to get into the house.

The house---- was empty.

The luggage, the furniture… almost everything was gone.

Only the volumes of JoJo were left in the corner of the room.

When I was shocked, the phone left in the house rang.

｢Are you satisfied now? Masuzu.｣

It was my father’s voice.

Everything was on his palm the whole time.

｢Where is my mother｣

If I could just kill people with my voice, it's what I really thought at the time.

｢I don’t know that｣.

｢You’re lying. You chased her away didn’t you!｣

｢I repeat, I don't know. It looks like she left of her own volition｣

｢I can’t believe those words. As father, is nothing but a liar.｣<ref>She has been calling him Otou-san for a while, if you are wondering</ref>

｢……… Well, it's true. Is just like you say.｣

A voice that said 'I give up'.<ref>He was talking about not having any veracity, he isn't admitting having kicked the mother out; thus he realized that he can't convince her</ref>

｢Anyways, Masuzu, come back next week. I have a meeting with a Japanese Officer. To expand my business, you’re required.｣

No throwing the phone, it was difficult to hold back.

This man is still like this in the very end….

But, back then.

I remembered what Mana's mother told me.

｢I understand, father. I’ll do what you tell me to.｣

｢Thanks, that's helpful.｣

｢I will work hard for the Natsukawa family. But, I can request for something equal to my work right? ｣

｢What do you mean?｣

｢Give and take, this is the basic of business right?｣

If I attack without a plan, my father definitely would not tell me the whereabouts of my mother.

I can only look for her myself.

I need to increase my status, therefore I need results.

I need to increase my status until my father cannot ignore me, until he accepts me.

I worked harder as my father’s tool.

Since when, I was called the 「The jewel of the Natsukawa Family.」

Time flies, it was October last year.

「Father, I have a request.」

「What is it?」

「I want to return to Japan next Spring, and attend Hanenoyama High School.」

My father, of course didn’t give me a good look.

「I think that I still want Masuzu to continue to act as a helpful hand at my side.」

「But, you don’t have intentions of staying in Sweden forever, right?」

「Of course, once I have trained someone that I can trust, I will head back to Japan.」

「Then, why not let me go back first. Spreading the name of “Jewel of the Natsukawa Family” at Hanenoyama City which is were we are related at; this doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, right?」

My father silenced in deep thoughts.

「I normally wouldn’t allow this but--- Masuzu, you have worked so hard for the Natsukawas. As your reward, I give you special permission to do so」.

「Thank you very much.」

「But, I’ll say this first. Forget about that. It's for your own good.」

Hmph.

The person who got rid of mother, what can you possibly say.

That is how I got back to Hanenoyama city.

I stayed at the apartment where I once lived with my mother.

If I wait here, mother will definitely come back.

Why? Because, she left the JoJo volumes here.

「Wait for me while you are reading these volumes.」

Surely, this is the message that my mother left here.

You already know what happens from there on, Eita.

I attended my highschool in Hanenoyama Highschool, the place where I met you all.

I was shocked when I talked to you.

There is actually a man who is able to follow up with my JoJo references!

Because my mother read me the first and second parts, for that reason most of my references center around the ｢Ripple Arc｣. It's odd if you think about it, since the name Jojo is strongly representative of the stand battles. Of course I also really like Jotaro, Josuke, Giorno, Jolyne, Gyro and Jousuke, but the ones who taught me about life are Jonathan and Joseph.<ref>Ok, clearing time. "Stand Battle" is commonly referred as the parts where you battle with stands, Here Natsukawa lists the main characters from part 3 to 8 as "I also really like" (the exception being Gyro, who is the mentor of the Jojo instead of the actual lead (though he has for about as much protagonism as the lead does)). The reason of why "Josuke" is listed twice, it's because there are 2 leads named Josuke, but use different kanji (which is what Masuzu used on the list). The first one is 仗助 and the second one is 定助 ; they are both read as "Jousuke" but I took a small liberty to tell them apart. Joseph and Jonathan are -of course- the leads of part 1 & 2 respectively</ref>

That's why, when we were at the pool and you told me that reference of the second part, I was really happy.

Discussing about the manga you really like with someone, it can be that fun.

I never knew.

Yet, you were always so indifferent.

You always acted cold towards me, and always headed to that childhood friend.

That is why I tied you up. I tied you up with a chain called BoyfriendFake.

Just like how my father tied me up with my family name, I tied you up.

Ufufu. It serves you right.

But in the end, you broke the chain yourself.

To think that Akishino-san would say that. 「People can grow」, I probably forgot Jonathan’s words. At that time, my defeat was already settled.

A fake can, never beat the real thing.

At most, all I managed to do was to mess up your long relationship with Harusaki-san.

No, should it be said that perhaps my existence improved your relationship with her?

How ironic.<ref>Her wording here denotes anger</ref>

How, foolish.

This should be what they call a punishment.

The punishment for deceiving Harusaki-san.

This is what a fake gets when deceiving the real thing.

Something enough for someone to rot in hell, that's what I did.

But, Eita.

To be alone in hell, it's too cold.

To fall into hell together with you, that doesn't sound bad at all.

◇
◆

This is a letter written by Masuzu, which never reached Eita.

Before putting the letter into the send box, Masuzu herself tore it to pieces.

At that very same same time, her inner will towards something appears to be strengthened.

When I was seven, my father suddenly visited our apartment.

I could remember my mother’s reaction freshly even now.

When my father gave his name via the apartment’s inter phone, she jumped in joy.

She grabbed my hand and danced like a little girl.

She still loves him, that father.

Because my mother was happy back then, I was happy too. Thinking back now gives me a mixed feeling.

Because, the person my father came to see was not mother, it was me.

My father proposed to bring me away with him.

His work headquarters would be moved to Sweden, and he needs to socialize more often. To grant his objective,
I can be of help--- I guess this is what he meant. I couldn’t understand back then why having me there would be good.

For the time being, I would go with him, he would bring my mother when we have settled.

We can gather again as a family overseas.

-- Something like that, is what I remember father saying back then.

I absolutely don’t want to go.

Because, isn't this some「old guy that I don't know」?<ref>calls him shiranai ojii-san here</ref>

In school 「it doesn't matter how he asks, don't go」was what he was taught when confronted in a situation like this, why should I follow him overseas.

However, mother answered in my stead.

「Masuzu, you would be more happy if you were raised as a child of the Natsukawa family」.

「Mother will go there so, be sure to way for me there」.

I believed in those words, and followed my father to Sweden.

The environment there is like the Natsukawa’s Home, it was as big as a castle. They were also a lot of servants.

Firstly, I studied English and Swedish.

Next, I learned table manners. I was taught so thoroughly so that I would never forget the right way to use chopsticks.

Piano, violin and ballet; until I was accomplished on them.

Since I never went to school there, I don’t really remember how Sweden people looks like.

My three family tutors were always next to me, I hardly ever got the chance to leave my home.

In a life like this, I would always write letters to my mother.

She would also reply right away.

If her reply was delivered in a big envelope, it means that there would be a JoJo volume in it.

If my father finds out, he might make me get rid of it, so I'll hid them under the bed.

When everyone is asleep, I would read JoJo with a small lantern. Back then, this was my only interest. Eita, if it was you, I’m you sure can understand how I looked forward to that?

However, mother is yet to come here.

Even though I ask her about it in my letters, she wouldn’t mention it in her reply.

Even if I asked my father, he would try to change and avoid the topic.

After several futile attempts of bringing this up in the letters, I gave up.

About a year later, I was forced to act in my father’s play.

It took part in a family party that the high classed people participated in.

Even though the event wasn’t as big as one of those high class party held in Paris, this should be an important place for my father to expand his social relationships.

There, I was arranged to meet someone unexpected.

Which is my father’s second wife.

Also, her daughter. A younger sister born from another mother.

Yes, the one you already know. That blonde twin-tailed kid.

That Mana.

「Onei-chan! Nise to meet you! My name ish Mana!」

She greeted me with a half baked Japanese, I almost had a headache.

Her mother never meet my eyes.

So I did the same.

My father gave us his orders.

「I don’t care what you guys think deep inside, I only hope that you all can act as a happy family with me here.」

That speech, made me realize.

He never had the intention of bring my mother over.

I had to question him about something.

「If you want to act as an family, It should be enough with those two people!」

「Why should I participate in your act?」

My father replied with a kind face.

「Because Masuzu, you are as pretty as a diamond.」

「It's a lie! For that kind of reason!」

「There is no lie here. I brought over my beautiful「Ex-wife’s child」and raised her properly, and also made her form a good relationship with my second wife. A man like that would be praised in trusted in the society. Don’t you think so?」

How was that, Eita?

You can’t believe it, right?

Someone who can put up together and artifice like this, he can only be a true villain.

To gain a good reputation, he formed a false familyFake. This is that man.

-- But I refuse.<ref>she uses a legendary Jojo line that evolved into a meme here, it's だが断る</ref>

During the party, I silently stood without uttering a word behind back to back with my father's as I learned from Jojo.<ref>It's a pun here, "Stands" are called as such because they (normally) "stand" behind their user. Normally stands have no personality and can't interact with others; they can't been seen by people without stands and users can't even seen them unless they realize they have it, so she is acting as a stand</ref>

What awaited me after that, was a house arrest of one month.

I was locked in the second floor of the house, and was not allowed to even get close to the stairs.

Which means, I can’t deliver any letters to my mother like this.

When I was locked in my room, Mana came.

She came with sparkling eyes.

That kid, she is related to that villain, I got angry.

「Onei-chan, are you fuaine?」

「You don’t need to force yourself to speak Japanese. I can at least understand English.」

「But , I, have, a Japanse shister. So I letsh speak on Jahpanese!」

「-- is that so. Then I shall teach you some wonderful Japanese.」

「Really? Mana whill remember it! What is it!」

<big>「Carve it into your flesh and bones!! 仙道波蹴ッ!Sendou Wave Kick!」</big><ref>This is a move from Will Anthonio Zeppeli, he was also teaching it at the time (but not to the receiver). The move is actually a jumping knee, like what Masuzu is doing</ref>

「Gywan-! Onei-chan kicked me!」

Come to think of it, that is when we started to be in bad terms.

Mana’s mother came in a while later.

She had the same blonde hair and blue eyes.

As pretty as a Hollywood star, but the inside it isn't anything like that, she is that type of woman.

「So that you know, I don’t love Ryuuji」.

「What I love is the money of Ryuuji's household. And he knows about it as well」.

Just why did you just pop up to say something like that?, I even tightened by brows.

「It would be good if you too, can also do the same.」

「You have things you desire right? You can use Ryuuji too.」

「―――――――――――」

That train of thought really made a deep impression on me. I was shocked.

[[File:Oreshura_v07_017.jpg|thumb]]

I, decided to negotiate with my father.

「If I act my role as a jewel perfectly, would you let me go back to my mother?」

He accepted my conditions right away.

From that point onward, I became the 「Eldest daughter of the Natsukawa Family」and acted elegantly.

It didn't matter who it was, I showed the perfect behavior, as I acted accordingly to the standard of a good child. As not to expose my cunning nature, I acted childishly from time to time too.

Mana’s mother also acted as a fine wife and mother in front of everyone.

Mana still acted however she liked, but then I can take care of her and improve my image as a good sister. In the eyes of the world it was a beautiful relationship

But in reality, we are just counterfeits.

Things went according to my father’s plan, the society viewed the Natsukawa family in high regard.

We dealt with more and more people with authority, everyone gathered at our home. This is how my father built his connections in Sweden.

How was that? Eita.

Did my image to you change a little?

My 「fake」visage is certainly perfect, in the overseas.

I am actually the biggest reason for some business, the source of the wealth of my family.

But somehow, I couldn't pull it off when it came to fool you.

I wonder what I did wrong……

About two years later, something shocking happened.

The letters and JoJo volumes from my mother have stopped.

Even though I have received them frequently and without fault since we separated.

My mother wouldn't forget something as important as this.

「Father, did you hide mother’s letter?」

「Impossible, I won’t do such a thing.」

「You’re lying! You definitely hid them!」

「Don’t trouble me, my jewel. What good would that bring me?」

I can’t read what happens on JoJo anymore.

The previous volume was at the part where Polnareff became a turtle!

What will happen to my Polnareff-kun!?<ref>If you are wondering, this is a spoiler for part 5. Actually, the fact that Polnareff is in is already a spoiler for the late game of part 5</ref>

I decided to escape from this place.

By avoiding my father eyes and gaining help from the servants, I got myself a ticket to Japan.

After being separated for three years, the time to reunion with my mother is finally here.

I used the key card that I have been preciously keeping, to get into the house.

The house---- was empty.

The luggage, the furniture… almost everything was gone.

Only the volumes of JoJo were left in the corner of the room.

When I was shocked, the phone left in the house rang.

｢Are you satisfied now? Masuzu.｣

It was my father’s voice.

Everything was on his palm the whole time.

｢Where is my mother｣

If I could just kill people with my voice, it's what I really thought at the time.

｢I don’t know that｣.

｢You’re lying. You chased her away didn’t you!｣

｢I repeat, I don't know. It looks like she left of her own volition｣

｢I can’t believe those words. As father, is nothing but a liar.｣<ref>She has been calling him Otou-san for a while, if you are wondering</ref>

｢……… Well, it's true. Is just like you say.｣

A voice that said 'I give up'.<ref>He was talking about not having any veracity, he isn't admitting having kicked the mother out; thus he realized that he can't convince her</ref>

｢Anyways, Masuzu, come back next week. I have a meeting with a Japanese Officer. To expand my business, you’re required.｣

No throwing the phone, it was difficult to hold back.

This man is still like this in the very end….

But, back then.

I remembered what Mana's mother told me.

｢I understand, father. I’ll do what you tell me to.｣

｢Thanks, that's helpful.｣

｢I will work hard for the Natsukawa family. But, I can request for something equal to my work right? ｣

｢What do you mean?｣

｢Give and take, this is the basic of business right?｣

If I attack without a plan, my father definitely would not tell me the whereabouts of my mother.

I can only look for her myself.

I need to increase my status, therefore I need results.

I need to increase my status until my father cannot ignore me, until he accepts me.

I worked harder as my father’s tool.

Since when, I was called the 「The jewel of the Natsukawa Family.」

Time flies, it was October last year.

「Father, I have a request.」

「What is it?」

「I want to return to Japan next Spring, and attend Hanenoyama High School.」

My father, of course didn’t give me a good look.

「I think that I still want Masuzu to continue to act as a helpful hand at my side.」

「But, you don’t have intentions of staying in Sweden forever, right?」

「Of course, once I have trained someone that I can trust, I will head back to Japan.」

「Then, why not let me go back first. Spreading the name of “Jewel of the Natsukawa Family” at Hanenoyama City which is were we are related at; this doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, right?」

My father silenced in deep thoughts.

「I normally wouldn’t allow this but--- Masuzu, you have worked so hard for the Natsukawas. As your reward, I give you special permission to do so」.

「Thank you very much.」

「But, I’ll say this first. Forget about that. It's for your own good.」

Hmph.

The person who got rid of mother, what can you possibly say.

That is how I got back to Hanenoyama city.

I stayed at the apartment where I once lived with my mother.

If I wait here, mother will definitely come back.

Why? Because, she left the JoJo volumes here.

「Wait for me while you are reading these volumes.」

Surely, this is the message that my mother left here.

You already know what happens from there on, Eita.

I attended my highschool in Hanenoyama Highschool, the place where I met you all.

I was shocked when I talked to you.

There is actually a man who is able to follow up with my JoJo references!

Because my mother read me the first and second parts, for that reason most of my references center around the ｢Ripple Arc｣. It's odd if you think about it, since the name Jojo is strongly representative of the stand battles. Of course I also really like Jotaro, Josuke, Giorno, Jolyne, Gyro and Jousuke, but the ones who taught me about life are Jonathan and Joseph.<ref>Ok, clearing time. "Stand Battle" is commonly referred as the parts where you battle with stands, Here Natsukawa lists the main characters from part 3 to 8 as "I also really like" (the exception being Gyro, who is the mentor of the Jojo instead of the actual lead (though he has for about as much protagonism as the lead does)). The reason of why "Josuke" is listed twice, it's because there are 2 leads named Josuke, but use different kanji (which is what Masuzu used on the list). The first one is 仗助 and the second one is 定助 ; they are both read as "Jousuke" but I took a small liberty to tell them apart. Joseph and Jonathan are -of course- the leads of part 1 & 2 respectively</ref>

That's why, when we were at the pool and you told me that reference of the second part, I was really happy.

Discussing about the manga you really like with someone, it can be that fun.

I never knew.

Yet, you were always so indifferent.

You always acted cold towards me, and always headed to that childhood friend.

That is why I tied you up. I tied you up with a chain called BoyfriendFake.

Just like how my father tied me up with my family name, I tied you up.

Ufufu. It serves you right.

But in the end, you broke the chain yourself.

To think that Akishino-san would say that. 「People can grow」, I probably forgot Jonathan’s words. At that time, my defeat was already settled.

A fake can, never beat the real thing.

At most, all I managed to do was to mess up your long relationship with Harusaki-san.

No, should it be said that perhaps my existence improved your relationship with her?

How ironic.<ref>Her wording here denotes anger</ref>

How, foolish.

This should be what they call a punishment.

The punishment for deceiving Harusaki-san.

This is what a fake gets when deceiving the real thing.

Something enough for someone to root in hell, that's what I did.

But, Eita.

To be alone in hell, it's too cold.

To fall into hell together with you, that doesn't sound bad at all.

This is a letter written by Masuzu, which never reached Eita.

Before putting the letter into the send box, Masuzu herself tore it to pieces.

At that very same same time, her inner will towards something appears to be strengthened.

Absolute Duo:Volume 1 Chapter 7

2014-05-15T09:39:36Z

Levant08: /* Chapter 7 『{{Furigana|Ai(Love)|Eins(One)}} To Yurie』 */

==Chapter 7 『{{Furigana|Ai(Love)|Eins(One)}} To Yurie』==

===Part 1===

“Tooru. That voice was…………..!!”

“Miyabi, stay here! I leave Tachibana to you!”

“U-un! H-how about Tooru-kun………….!?”

“We---------“

“Let’s go, Tooru.”

When Yurie faced her sights towards me, she nodded back probably knowing my intentions.

“Aah, let’s go Yurie!”

“B-be careful Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan!”

With Miyabi’s worried voice coming from behind, towards the direction of the voice-------we climbed up stairs.

(What is this uneasiness……………!)

It’s the same like ''that day''.

Same like that day with the dojo wrapped in flames, an indescribable nasty premonition was swirling in the depths of my heart.

(What did…………..wasn’t this just a normal practice match?)

It’s true that, in case of getting attacked by a <<Blaze>>, an instantaneous pain would be produced.

But in the very end it was for an instant, what’s more it should be slightly pain, and not be something strong enough to cause a shout.

When we reached to the highest floor, there was a shadow standing in the middle of the corridor---------a silhouette of a characteristic rabbit ears was there.

In front of the sights of that shadow, I shouted the name of my friends lying down beside the wall.

“Tora--------!!”

“Kokonoe-kun………..!”

From our shout Tsukimi-sensei who was standing still in front of Tora, turned over to us with a shocked face.

“Tsukimi-sensei! What on earth happened!?”

“I-I don’t know, I just came here too!”

“Tooru. Tora and the rest have bad injuries.”

When I approached closer to Tora after being called by Yurie, there was a pool of blood spreading under his feet.

From what we could see, he looks like he was cut by a sharp edged tool, and suffered serious injuries in several parts.

Nearby him, his partner Tatsu also suffered serious injuries just like him. And was unconscious.

“This side also has the same injuries.”

“Looks like it. Anyway, we have to bring them to the first-aid room quickly………!”

“It’s okay--. Now that we are here, we can immediately contact the rescue team.”

“Is that so. Thank you very much, Tsukimi-sensei.”

“Uun, it is my job anyway…….more importantly, these injuries------“

After she started performing first-aid on Tora and Tatsu, Tsukimi-sensei’s expression turned cloudy.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Un. It is just a possibility but………''is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>''……..”

“<<Blaze>> you say………?”

It’s true that, to hurt Tora and Tatsu who <<Exceed>> s like this, needs the same-------no, needs a power more than that or else it would be difficult.
Inspecting like this, the possibility of the opponent is an <<Exceed>> is very high but--------

There was only one thing I couldn’t comprehend.

“Wasn’t <<Blaze>> ''a weapon that could not injure a person''?”

Yes, that was it. My question was exactly what Yurie said.

“Tha-that’s----------“

Hesitating to say, Tsukimi-sensei was having worries whether is it alright to tell us--------it was that response.

“Sensei, please tell us. Is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>, didn’t you just say that just now?”

“That’s…………..”

“Tsukimi-sensei!”

“I-I get it, I will tell you but------this is a very important confidential secret regarding the <<Luciful>> so keep this a secret okay? …………… Actually, the fact that the <<Blaze>> is a weapon that can’t hurt people, is ''a flat-out lie''”

“A lie……….!?”

“Are you saying it is a lie?”

“Just like you know, the <<Blaze>> is a weapon manifested from someone’s <<Soul>>. That’s why, it gives mental damage by meddling with that person <<Soul>>--------you understand until here right……………..did you not question this before? That ''even though the <<Blaze>> can damage walls or the ground, how come it can’t hurt a person''”

“That’s true……….”

Tachibana’s <<{{Furigana|Iron chain|Chain}}>> plowed down a tree, and Miyabi’s <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> destroyed the walls.

“Then, why is it peoples are the only ones that haven’t been injured yet?”

“………….. That is because; all of you recognize the <<Blaze>> as a weapon that could not injure people.”

“That was the first thing the director………..---------!”

“……………that means, those words were the safety lock placed on us.”

“Un, that is right. It is needed to know the truth in order to open the lock. But, it is impossible to hurt someone with a <<Blaze>> with only that. There is one more, an important thing needed. That is--------“

Making a strict expression that has not been seen until now, Tsukimi-sensei put the <<Blaze>>’s hidden truth in her mouth.

“''To put in killing intent''”

“---------!!”

“Hostility, malice………..strong intentions of hurting people will turn it into a lethal weapon. With just one way put into the heart, it is a weapon that could easily take away someone’s life-------and that is the <<Blaze>>…………ah, just like what I said, this is a highly classified information so the special lecture ends here, I am counting on you.”

“I understand.”

(To think the <<Blaze>> had this kind of secret hidden……….no, right now-----)

I moved my sights from sensei to Tora, and looked at his condition.

Although first-aid was done, thinking about the large amount of bleeding, it would be bad if this goes on.

“The rescue team is late……..”

Judging from the time Tsukimi-sensei contacted them, it is not weird for them to be running over here anytime by now ……….

“The rescue team isn’t coming.”

“Ehh?”

When I looked behind, Tsukimi-sensei was looking down on me while making a smile-------

And before I knew it, she was holding the silhouette of a fiendish looking <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“That-- is-- why--, I said the rescue group isn’t coming……..!”

“What, do you mean………?”

With her tone changed, I somehow managed to ask her while feeling surprised from the change of her atmosphere.

“I said the special lecture ended right.”

Tsukimi-sensei lifted the sides of her mouth.

That was a joyful smile-----------------but a smile filled with evil intent.

Immediately right after, the cold steel was swung down.

The drawn trail, felt frightfully slow--------

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gikiin*!! With the sound of metal clashing, the time started flowing back to normal.

“Tora……….!!”

With his consciousness back, Tora threw his <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>>, and bounced back the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> being swung down towards me.

“Fu,un………..Get away fast, you idiot………..thi,s fella…………is a monster…………”

“What do you mean Monster………?”

For Tora who usually is filled with confidence to say that, Tsukimi-sensei should be quite a strong user.

“Seriously, disturbing me when you just escaped death……………. I should have quickly finished you off instead of playing around.”

“Kill…………….Tsukimi-sensei! Why!? Why are you doing this!!”

“Hnn--, before I answer that question………. I will give you one more special lecture as a service♥”

In an instant, her usual tone returned and she swing the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> up------and cut the <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>> in half.

“Guh,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

Immediately, Tora raised a shout and with the same time with his voice interrupted, he powerlessly collapsed to the floor.

That figure made me have a flashback of my sister-----Otoha.

“You bastard, what did you do-------------?!”

I draw back my fist like shooting an arrow, and released a single strike from the anger.

---but, it hit empty space and the wall behind was destroyed.

“Kuhah. That’s one heck of a power from that <<Level>>. ………….. Well, it doesn’t mean anything unless it hits though.”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kuku* looking at Tsukimi-sensei making a ridiculing smile, my back muscles became cold.

Monster--------It took an instant for me to understand the reason why Tora said that.

Tsukimi-sensei who was supposed to be standing in front of me, made a distance of more than 10 meters in the slight instant she evaded my attack.

“Special lecture number 2. When the <<Blaze>> is destroyed, that person will be unconscious and won’t wake up for at least a whole day so be careful♪l. Well if that is all we get when having the <<Soul>> be destroyed, it is something that I cannot ask for more☆------Okay then, regarding why I am doing this...”

She cut her words temporarily and replaced back the atmosphere around her.

“It’s work, it's work. It’s a simple job of cleaning promising looking new students.”

“You say, work……….? Don’t say something ridiculous!! Killing people as a job-------“

“Remember this, you brat. Any adults can kill if it is a job. The only difference is the killing method, either directly or indirectly.”

“……………if this is a job that means, this isn’t your arbitrary then.”

Even when Yurie asked, Tsukimi made a light smile and swung her head.

“That goes against the duty of confidentially so I can’t answer. …………well then, it’s about time we end our little talk. As special service, I’ll kill you bastards first before these bastards……………however, if either one of you bastards run away then------------“

“Who the hell will run away!!”

I ground my teeth, clenched my fist, and answered.

That scenery---------I never want to see someone die again.

“I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore!! Never!!”

“……………Same here, Tooru. I won’t let anyone die in front of me…………!”

Yurie nodded and stood beside me.

“Kuhah, mere <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>>s barking like that………..”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kukuku* while laughing, Tsukimi-sensei----------no, Tsukimi expanded the killing intent she was releasing.

“Well then let’s start!! Entertain me even if it last for one minute, one second!!”

Signaling with her shout, Tsukimi kicked the ground and charged-------

“Uh!?”

Her figure suddenly disappeared and I doubted my eyes.

“Up!”

“Wha!?”

It was exactly in that moment I raised my sights from hearing Yurie’s voice, Tsukimi kicked the ceiling.

My reaction was one moment late from those unexpected movements.

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariiin*! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aimed at me, was ward off by Yurie this time, protecting me.

She landed on the ground without losing her balance and Tsukimi released a second attack by making a side sweep.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakyaaan*! The sound of metal violently clashing echoed.

This time, even though I used my <<Shield>> to block-------------

“Uaaaaaaaah!!”

She then swung down with all her strength like that and I was blown away.

“Tooru, are you okay…………!?”

“Aah, I am okay………….but, what power………”

The moment when I thought I completely blocked her, I was then pushed back.

The movement she showed before was frighteningly fast, and her power surpasses mine while her speed surpasses Yurie’s.

Her abilities that she showed during the physical ability enhancement training were only just a portion of it.

“Kuhaha, I’m glad I’m glad. From not ending just from that.”

While making a fun smile, she made a sharp and heavy attack with a breathtaking speed.

“Kuh……………!!”

Even though I kept on barely protecting myself, it was a one sided defensive battle and the situation will certainly get gradually bad if this keeps up.

---if it is one person.

“I won’t let you. I will be troubled if you forget about me.”

Yurie went behind Tsukimi and made a side sweep with her sword--------

But, Tsukimi repelled it with her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> without looking back.

“On top of it being 2 going against 1, I can’t really praise you for attacking from behind, silver head.”

“I don’t think it is unfair if the opponent is in a much higher class.”

“Same thoughts here!”

In no time, I attacked.

Although her carefree smile did not break, as expected even Tsukimi had no choice but to go defensive from the cooperative offence.

“Oooto, this is fun, this is fun.”

2 vs 1. Even though we performed quite a number of hits, we couldn't land something that could be called a final hit.

………….but, the moment when Tsukimi slightly stopped her legs when blocking Yurie’s attack.

(Over here!!)

That very instant, I clenched my fist hard and stepped into the most important and also the final chance of winning.

“Hiiiiitttttt!!”

Right now once more, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow, and the 2nd time of the strike I can shoot daily------- {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}}-------was released.

My muscle and bone creaked. If this doesn’t hit, then I would probably be powerless.

But----------------it was slightly far away.

Although it is cruel, my fist only scratched Tsukimi’s clothes.

“Kuhahahaha. Y.o.u m.i.s.s! The distance was just a little off!”

Just a few centimeters, but that made a big difference in the distinguishing victory.

I became impatient from the winning chance I saw for an instant and slightly failed in judging the distance.

“Damn, it………….!”

“Well then, it’s my turn next, <<Irregular>>!!”

“I already told you I won’t let you…………..!!”

Towards Tsukimi holding the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aloft, even though Yurie once again forced her way through using combination hits, Tsukimi took back steps to avoid.

However the flow did not stop there.

Although Tsukimi once again went on the defensive from Yurie’s specialty charging combination hits, she could not get rid of the carefree smile from her face.

Not long later, the moment the flow was interrupted-----

The corner of the joyful smile Tsukimi was making lifted further up.

“Kukuh, this time for sure, let’s go with my turn then!”

Although it is just one sword, she is not inferior at all to Yurie’s combination attacks------no, it was an evil blade storm even faster.

Completely turning defensive, Yurie somehow managed to block but, she was retreating little by little.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariin*! The nasty sound of metal clashing echoed and Yurie lost her balance.

A straight attack was done there. Even though it was hard, Yurie managed to block but couldn’t kill off Tsukimi’s physical strength and got blown away just like that.

“Yurie----------!!”

Raising a shout and not caring about my body, I jumped at Yurie to catch her.

But, I was pushed away by the strong blow and after a flashy sound echoed, the classroom door was broken through and we showily charged into the tables scattering all around.

“Uh,kuh…………..!! Yurie, are you okay!?”

“Ya----. Thanks to you……..but even so, it was an unbelievable strength. It's expected from someone selected to be a special teacher here.”

It would seem she wasn’t injured, and I made a sigh of relief.

---but, after I immediately re-brace myself, I made a bitter decision and said it.

“Yurie, take Tora and the rest with you and run away.”

“Tooru?”

“I will buy some time. That’s why Yurie, after you move Tora and Tatsu to a safer place, call Mikuni-sensei for help-----“

The moment I said until there, Yurie used her index finger and touched my lips before swinging her head.

“Nai, I refuse. You won’t last 5 minutes with that body.”

“……..You saw through it huh.”

“You said {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} causes quite a burden in the body. And just now, Tooru said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore''. And I said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me''. so-------“

Yurie directed her {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}} towards the nearby entrance.

“I won’t run.”

The sun completely fallen and a bunny ear silhouette entered the dim classroom.

“Well then, it’s about time we end this.”

“……………you can end it if you want but, what are you planning after killing us? Isn’t time the only problem for the academy side to notice?”

“No need to worry, I won’t do something that will expose me. Even if I am exposed, a school is a place where if a problem occurs, they will use their power to cover it up instead of investigation for the cause……….okay, now that my question is cleared, it is my turn to ask questions too.”

[[File:Absolute Duo Volume 1 Non-Colour 9.jpg|thumb]]

Tsukimi crawled her tongue on the blade and made a light smile.

“Which one of you wants to die first?”

The small light illuminating the dark classroom reflected the blade.

It looked an ominous light but, we were not afraid and replied back almost at the same time.

[Yurie I will--------][Tooru I will--------]

“”Protect you!!””

“Kuhah, even though it isn’t long, as expected from a <<Duo>>. Or is it a Hollywood suitable male female relationship has been made?……………….well whatever is okay I guess. There is no difference since both of you are going to die anywayy!!”

Tsukimi swung down making a sword flash, and I blocked it.

Although Yurie attacked at that moment, Tsukimi was already not there------------ she kicked the wall, floor, ceiling, using movements transcending humans befitting the name of <<Exceed>> and, she was toying with us.

I and Yurie faced our backs together, and we continued protecting each other from the attacking evil blade from all directions but, scratches gradually increased, and we became disadvantageous.

(Damn, she is just toying with us…………!)

My stamina was depleting, and after one step and another, defeat-------- the reality of death is getting closer.

“------------!!”

Yurie failed in blocking and fresh blood was scattered out from her {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}.

In the next instant, her small chin was kicked, and Yurie was sent flying to the corner of the room.

“Yurie---------!!”

At the same time I shouted, I grabbed a nearby table and swang it.

As expected even Tsukimi couldn't dodge this and was sent flying the opposite side of where Yurie was.

“Are you okay, Yurie!?”

“--------!! I am, okay…………”

When I ran over, Yurie distorted her face in pain.

Coming from the wound running along her thighs, blood was ceaselessly flowing out.

To Yurie who has that speed as her asset, it could be said it is the same with her strongest weapon killed off.

However, since the situation was getting even hopeless, it conversely made me serious.

I clenched my fist. For the strongest attack I have.

It was strange enough whether if I can release the 3rd shot which crosses my limits.

But if I can’t release it, we’ll die.

Not only me, but also my friends, and even the girl in my arms.

(I will definitely……………protect them!!)

I have to release it, and precisely end this.

It doesn’t mean anything unless it hits……………Tsukimi said this.

(Then I have to think of a way to hit!)

“Too…………..ru……………..”

In that hopeless situation, Yurie called me weakly.

“Sorry. If you didn’t become my <<Duo>> you wouldn’t have to go through this………….”

“Nai, there is no such thing………………I was very happy when Tooru brought his hands out to me. Although it was not long but, whether it was drinking apple tea or, the time we had matches or, the time we watched tv together, it was very enjoyable so……………that’s why, please do not say that.”

“Yurie………………….”

Hearing the silver girl words, even though not even a month passed but, the feelings that I will never forget float out like a rotating lantern-----------------

“-------------!!”

Inside there was a possibility--------------I found out the technique how the {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} can hit, and I was shaken by a shock as if I was struck by a lightning bolt.

(That’s right, <<Duo>>…………..this is it……!)

Although it could be called a possibility, it might be in the level to be called a miracle.

But, right now I have to believe in this or else there is no other way to survive.

Yes, this is a road that can only be opened by ''believing''.

However, before this could be reached, there is something I have to do no matter what.

(For that…………!)

“uh Seriously…………now my clothes are dirty, damn it.”

In front of my sights, there was a shadow standing up while cursing.

---I knew this but, as expected there was no damage.

Looking at Tsukimi, Yurie pressed on her wounds to try to get up but------

“Yurie, please rest here quietly. I will fight by myself from here.”

“Tooru…………?”

“I will definitely protect you, Yurie.”

“Kuh, Kuahahahaha! Are you retarded. Even though you were suppressed in 2 vs 1, now of all things, you say by yourself? You say protect? Are you seriously saying that?”

“Aah, I am serious. I will defeat you alone and protect Yurie!!”

“Tooru, it is impossible to do it alone……..! I will also…..!!”

“…………Yurie. I am happy for those feelings but, right now please follow what I say.”

“B-but……….”

I faced my back to Yurie who was perplexed from my words and stared at Tsukimi.

“Okay come! Your evil blade, I will stop it!!”

“Kuhah, you will regret the more you bark, <<Irregular>>. Since you said it like that, I will leave you half-dead. And then----------“

The tip of her blade was pointing to me at first, and then it was pointing at Yurie next.

“I will kill that silver head in front of you who can’t move! And for last, you will die while grieving on how powerless you are, from your words!!”

At the same time with her roar, Tsukimi attacked.

However, no matter how many times she made sharp blade flashes, I blocked all of it with my <<Shield>>.

(I won’t let you……………! I will never let anyone else become like Otoha!!)

Burdened and tired, my body felt heavy like lead but, the feeling of protecting Yurie, the oath made my concentration to its limit and was moving my body.

But that was not all.

In the place I am standing-----------thanks to the place of the corner of the classroom, the sword slash path which was hard to see through until now was limited to the forward direction and made it easier to read.

On top of that, since Tsukimi was keeping her powers in check in order to leave me half-dead, each step in from each attack turned shallow, and became lighter.

“Don’t persevere!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakiin*!! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> violently hit on the <<Shield>> and I came face to face with Tsukimi.

“What’s wrong, didn’t you say you were going to make me regret? At the very least, show me if you can make at least one scratch on this <<Shield>>.”

“You sure piss me off, oi…………. I changed my thoughts. As expected I should start killing you first <<Irregular>>!! I will slice that prided <<Shield>> of yours together with you!!”

Tsukimi’s irritated attitude was exposed and she emptied some distance before preparing her sword above her head.

The expanding pressure shook the atmosphere and *Chiri**Chiri* the blood lust was stabbing my skin.

A full power strike is coming.

Just like her words, in order to slice through this <<Shield>> together with taking my life away. But------

“''I was waiting for this time, for this time to be able to read your breathing pattern.''”

Without looking away from her, I whispered to Yurie with a soft voice.

“But, it is impossible for me alone from this point onwards……………but, I believe I can do it when it is two people.”

“Tooru………….?”

Hearing my words, Yurie made a doubtful face.

“We are twin blades tied together with a bond so, we will definitely……….!!”

“What are you blabbering about over there? Since that is your farewells to this world, how about you make a love confession with a loud voice for last, like I LOVE YOU! Kuhahahahaha!!”

Towards Tsukimi who was giving out a disgusting laugh, I felt ''thankful'' for the first time.

“Then, I guess I will engulf myself in your words then.”

“Aaah?”

I took a deep breath------and shouted

“{{Furigana|Love|Ai}}<ref group ="1g">A word play. Ai sounds like "I" but also has the meaning of love (愛）.</ref> to-------Yurie!!”

“To-Tooru……..!?”

“Kua-------ahaahahaha!! This guy seriously confessed!!”

Ignoring Tsukimi, I once again shouted.

“I will------''Tou''!!”

“-------------!”

Yurie gasped-------that was the last instant, and was the start.

“This is thanks for the laugh!! I will slash both of you togetherr!!”

Tsukimi announced that while pointing the sword at me-------and jumped in.

The cold steel was swung down in a slightly further distance than me.

“Diiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Even if I block this, {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} will only cut through the air like last time. But--------

(Now……….!!)

Believing in everything, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow.

“Yurie--------------!!”

“Whaa!?”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>GIkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn*!! The violent weapon echoed throughout--------and Tsukimi’s face distorted in shock.

''An unsuitable clear *Chirin* sound of a bell was in front of her in this place.''

That’s because Yurie stepped into Tsukimi’s chest area, and blocked her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“Why……….are you………silver headdddd!!”

A small chance was born from her shock.

And in this moment, this very instant, it is the last chance of winning-----------the opened path of possibility that could be called miracle.

“The one ending-----is you!!”

“Kuhahahahah, too bad! You’re far!!”

“I am not-----far!!”

Suddenly pulling her body, Tsukimi was certainly slightly distant from me.

But that was, ''if I was aiming for Tsukimi’s body''.

“Pierce through----------------!!”

My fist rapidly cut through the air.

The {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} released beyond my limits-----seized the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>, piercing through it and was smashed.

“Guh…………uu……..”

“Please don’t force yourself, Tooru.”

“A-aah……….. I didn’t plan on forcing myself though…………….”

“It is not good to act tough. Please take care of your body more.”

“I know. Thank you for worrying about me, Yurie.”

“Ya---. You are welcome………….okay, I will be going to take a bath now.”

“Aah, take your time.”

Nodding, Yurie walked towards the dressing room while dragging her leg--------she turned around half-way.

“No peeking okay, Tooru.”

“Yu-Yurie”

“It’s a joke.”

Towards me who was making a bitter face from the bitter memories, Yurie made a small smile and disappeared into the dressing room.

(Seriously……..even though it is tough for herself too……..)

While feeling painful looking at her dragging her legs, I vividly remembered the ----------<<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>>.

3 days have passed after that day------entering the world’s GW, and Kouryou academy was not an exception so we entered the long-term holiday. Even though we finally had consecutive holidays, we did not go outside anywhere and passed a majority of time inside the room.

……………rather, we had no choice but to take a rest.

Although the <<Exceed>>‘s regenerative abilities are several times better than an ordinary person, my body was still creaking and I could not move properly.

It means the number of {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} which was released over my limits was, that much of a burden to my body.

It looks like Yurie could finally walk but, luckily her wounds would not leave any after-effects.

Tora and Tatsu managed to escape death, and it looks like they won’t be coming out from the medical treatment building during GW.

(Even so, it’s amazing we managed to win against that annoying opponent………)

Looking back at the fight with Tsukimi, I seriously thought that.

In order to gain victory, it was essential to pile several conditions on each other.

One is to make an attack that will definitely kill me.

Fighting alone, by telling her to stay quiet, she will be conscious about Yurie being out of battle potential, and be very conscious of me blocking with my <<Shield>>.

Also, the breathing and {{Furigana|Ai|I}}--------telling these two words, to make her notice my aim.

If I know a big swing is coming, reading her breathing will be easy.

Yurie who suffered injuries entered her chest area, and somehow managed to block the attack since she was closer to the opponent’s fulcrum making the attack power drop.

Next was to break the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>----------the <<Blaze>> manifested by the soul.

Having her <<Soul>> broken, Tsukimi was restrained by Mikuni-sensei who came running after Miyabi and Tachibana contacted the Academy side, when they came to see us since we weren’t really coming back.

After that, I don’t know what happened to Tsukimi.

(What kind of goal did she have…………?)

It seems the academy side doesn’t plan on telling us about it.

From Mikuni-Sensei who was present during Tsukimi’s restraining, he made sure we won’t tell anyone about this matter and marked the end of this matter.
(It was in an unsatisfying way but, it is one matter down just in case………….)

I drank up the lukewarm apple tea and leant close to the wall.

Since it was annoying I could not move my creaking body so, it looks like today will also be another day only watching television---------and it was on that time when I thought that.

“Tooru”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Hyokooto* Yurie brought her face out from the dressing room. And water droplets were still dropping from her hair.

Incidentally I could almost see her small shoulders, thin arms, and also her chest so I averted my sights in panic.

“Wha-what’s wrong?”

“I am very sorry about this but, could you please take the towel for me.”

“Towel…………?”

“Ya----. I forgot to bring it with me. It is in the 2nd drawer from the top of my clothing case, so please.”

“A-aah. I get it……………..”

After nodding, I opened Yurie’s clothing case and peeked inside.

(Uuh, I look like a pervert………………)

Even though I was asked to do so, I can’t let anyone see me searching through a girls’ clothing case.

(Towel………….is this it? It is in the place like she said but-------)

It’s true the towel was in the second drawer.

It was beside the ''oddly folded cloths''.

While thinking I should not be looking at it, whether it is something with a lot of frills attached to it or there was a lot of white, I have accidentally found out something that was better off with me not knowing about it.

“So-sorry for the wait………….”

“Sorry to make you force yourself, Tooru.”

After I brought the towel to the dressing room with my creaking body, Yurie extended her hands out with her body barely coming out just like just now.
Even though the situation was only a situation and it can’t be helped, because her skin color ratio was much higher than usual I had trouble looking for a place to look…………and in that moment I thought that.

“Uuh………….!”

A painful voice was let out.

When extending her hand, she probably put her body weight on her injured leg unconsciously.

She then fell forward from unable to support her body--------and Yurie came out in the state when she was born.

“Bu!? Yu-Yurie!!”

I suddenly catch her but-----------since I was unable to put any strength into my legs, we fell to the floor just like that.

“Ouchouchouch…………”

My eyes were sparkling since I hit the back of my head.

(Uh………I-isn’t this………….)

After my sights gradually turned back to normal, I understood that the situation has turned into something unbelievable.

The fact of right now, I was hugging a naked girl.

{{Furigana|Silver hair|Silver Blonde}}, {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}}, {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}---------

All of that perfectly joined together and this girl looked as if she was a delicately manufactured doll.

She was unlike a human; I would believe it if I was told she was an Angel.

“To-Tooru……………”

Her face was closer than ever before.

Yurie’s cheeks were slightly red.

That redness---------that embarrassment was the proof that this girl is a human with warmth and not a doll nor an angel.

“Yurie……….errr………..”

During this time, I had no idea what I was about to say.

It was because I could not say any further than that.

That’s because------

“Kokonoe. I brought fomentation over. And bandages for Yurie too.”

“To-Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan, hello…………….”

Turning into something troubling, the girls we became acquainted with entered the room.

[Ko-Kokonoe………….][To-Tooru-kun]

Seeing that the naked girl----------Yurie was being hugged closely by me, both of their faces stiffened.

“Ko-koko-Kokonoe! Wha-wha-what kind of shameless thi-thing are you doing?! Making YuYu-Yurie naked, what on earth, what are you, what are you doing--------------!?”

“N-no, this is a misunderstanding…………….!!”

“Yo-your shamelessness knows no bounds!! Miyabi! Don’t keep quiet there and say something!!”

Contrastive to Tachibana’s angry shouting, Miyabi softly muttered ''only one word''.

“<<Blaze>>……………….”

The <<Flame>> danced from the <<Word that carried strength>>, and the <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> appeared in Miyabi’s hands-------

“Wai, a sec, Miyabi!? Yu-Yurie! Explain how this got this way---------“

“Tooru-kun you………………Pervert--------------------------!!”

Like this, a small commotion occurred for last and the curtains of the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> finally closed.

===Part 2===

“-------that’s all for the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> recording.”

About the time Tsukimi Rito <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> was destroyed by Tooru, and collapsing, a male------Mikuni stopped the video.

“Kuhah. Going to the extent of showing the video, even though it was not done cynically, isn’t my result report enough—“

The one using abusive language was Rito who was just shown fighting with Tooru in the video.

“A picture is worth a thousand words, it’s something like that. And more importantly your report was too rough.”

“Yeah Yeah. Sorry bout that.”

Completely calm, towards Rito who was swinging her rabbit ears, Mikuni swang his head with a sigh.

“But even so, to think you seriously went to kill………if anything happens by any chance, what were you planning to do?”

“……………I don’t mind. It was me who told her to leave it to her decision on the spot.”

After the owner of the voice opened her mouth for the first time, Mikuni and Rito directed their sights to her.

Sitting further up, there was a girl wearing a gothic dress around her-------it was Tsukumo Sakuya, Kouryou academy’s director.

“When a seed bud in a harsh environment, it is only then when it will bloom to a beautiful flower, it is what I think.”

Before the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>>, Rito made a smile when she was told that things would be left to her and killing might be okay depending on her. During that time, having said every single word Sakuya said without changing any of it, Mikuni lowered his head in apology before, returning back to the previous topic of the video.

“However, this is a surprise. To think a person that could drive a <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>> away appeared ''again''…………”

It was not surprising for Mikuni to be surprised.

Normally, a person’s ability will be enhanced several times after going up one <<Level>>.

Therefore, if there are 2 ranks different, it would be a hopeless difference in strength even though it is against 2.

That is why, even though there are various factors involved, it was a lucky result for Tooru and Yurie who is <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>> to defeat Rito who is <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>>.

“………… Seriously, I never thought they would practice something that was just thought out recently. It’s amazing he can make a calm decision in that situation.”

“Oya, it is not like you to praise the opponent who defeated you.”

“There are times that even I would praise.”

While making a sarcastic smile, Rito threw her legs and sat on the sofa.

“Aren’t you in a very good mood? Perhaps you took a liking to him?”

“Kuhah, don’t spout crap--------is what I wanted to say but, I can’t deny that…………well, if you say I am interested in him then you are much more than me, Ojou-sama<ref group ="1g">My lady</ref>”

Those words,

“Fufu, it is only natural to be interested in him since he is someone who is related to <<Him>>.”

“''That guy'', huh…………….”

Hearing one sentence from Sakuya, Mikuni and Tsukimi raised their eyebrows slightly together.

“………… Well then, my job is done with this but-------what should I do from now on?”

“As you like. Rito, do as you wish………….”

“As I like Nee~……….Kuhah, if that is the case----------I guess I’ll go on like this.”

“I understand.”

“……………… Is that okay? If Tsukimi is left behind, then there is a possibility our connections with her will be discovered by them--------“

“The reason doesn’t matter. They have no skills to confirm this, Mikuni.”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kusu**Kusu* Sakuya made a bewitching giggle.

Towards that smile, that decision, Mikuni nodded knowing any further views would not be forgiven.

“Then, as you wish.”

Not long later, there was only one presence left inside the room filled with quietness.

Inside the darkness, the remaining girl was sinking her body deeply into a luxurious chair.

After a long silence, Sakuya slightly lifted the corners of her mouth.

Enlightened everything was starting to move, inside that she felt a certain thing in her seat.

“It is the start of the party…………..”

On how that party’s demise is concluded, she does not know, for Sakuya ''is not God''.

Even if it is her who stands in the {{Furigana|forbidden|God’s}} realm for manipulating human genetics.

As long as they are humans, they will not know the future.

Therefore the black dress girl muttered.

“I pray, that our paths would reach the <<Absolute Duo>>.”
